Israel Is Using An AI System To Find Targets In Gaza. Experts Say It's Just The Start

The pace is astonishing: In the wake of the brutal attacks by Hamas-led militants on October 7, Israeli forces have struck more than 22,000 targets inside Gaza, a small strip of land along the Mediterranean coast. Just since the temporary truce broke down on December 1, Israel's Air Force has hit more than 3,500 sites.

The Israeli military says it's using artificial intelligence to select many of these targets in real-time. The military claims that the AI system, named "the Gospel," has helped it to rapidly identify enemy combatants and equipment, while reducing civilian casualties.

But critics warn the system is unproven at best — and at worst, providing a technological justification for the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

"It appears to be an attack aimed at maximum devastation of the Gaza Strip," says Lucy Suchman, an anthropologist and professor emeritus at Lancaster University in England who studies military technology. If the AI system is really working as claimed by Israel's military, "how do you explain that?" she asks.

Other experts question whether any AI can take on a job as consequential as targeting humans on the battlefield.

"AI algorithms are notoriously flawed with high error rates observed across applications that require precision, accuracy, and safety," warns Heidy Khlaaf, Engineering Director of AI Assurance at Trail of Bits, a technology security firm.

Under the AI system, known as "The Gospel," any home or neighborhood containing even a low level Hamas activist becomes a target, and the civilian death toll is known in advance: "Nothing happens by accident,” said one source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

[Looking Back on It.. One didn't have to be an Egyptian intelligence analyst, or have access to the high tech Israeli surveillance apparatus or be station on the Gaza Border, to see the warning signs Hamas was outright telling the world they were ready for "all-out war" just weeks prior to the Oct. 7th attack..which Israel was developing AI in anticipation for.

Weird how Israel was preparing for "All out war" while threatening to court martial intelligence officers warning of the impending Oct 7th attack (oh which Israel had blue prints of a year prior)
